My colleague and me are often using skype to work together, but there is a problem that bothers me very much. When he is sharing his whole screen, I only receive it in a window that takes about a fourth part of my screen (about 50% size). Obviously, all text becomes unreadable.
We have the same horizontal resolution, but I have a 4:3 display, and he has a 16:9 display. So it's 1280x1024 against 1280x768, his screen should be able to fit into mine.
What's even stranger is that when I use a laptop I have, the screen is shared with me at 100% size. Both my PC and my laptop use Ubuntu 10.10.
Can something be done about it?
P.S. Maybe it has something to do with compiz?
Can't you maximize the video-window?
The fact that for some users/on other computers the video-window is maximized by default could be a saved preference from your last session.
